Ice Hockey: USA 5 / Canada 3

Ice Hockey is big in Canada. Winter Olympics ice hockey is crazy because many of the best National Hockey League players are from Canada. The stadium was a sea of red, filled with Canadian fans wearing red sweatshirts with the Maple Leaf. Today's game between the Canadian and USA teams was wild. Many of Canada's team were members of the San Jose Sharks. We were amazed and delighted that the USA team won. See photo on MSNBC is by Bruce Bennett/Getty Images.

Who knows who will be playing one another when we finally get to Canada? For that matter, we have no idea where we will be sitting -- near or far from the ice.

The Sierra Sun carried a story, giving us of a look back at the USA hockey team win in 1960. Photos are in B&W. Size of crowd much smaller!
